ELLIS family

[sarahlouise345]

I'm trying to find any information on three of my great-grandmother's brothers. They are/were Francis Harry Ellis, Hedley Gilbert Ellis and William Thompson Ellis. I believe they emigrated from England to Victoria in the 1920s.

My request is for any information or lookups that might reveal whether they married or had children after they emigrated, and their dates of death. If it helps, Francis was born in 1893, Hedley was born circe 1895 and William was born in 1892.

Thanks in advance for anything you can find,

Sarah

Hi Michelle

Hello!! Yes, my great-grandmother was Marjorie Ruth. She married Frank Pritchard in Solihull in 1929 and they had one son, my grandfather, Frank Ellis Pritchard [known as Ellis]. I will send you the details of the rest of my side of the family in a personal message in about 5 minutes' time

On a side note, the resemblance between Hedley Ellis and my grandfather Ellis Pritchard is incredible! I'll upload some photos of our lot, including grandad, as soon as I get our scanner to work.

So, talk to you in 5 minutes'

Many regards,
Sarah Pritchard
